Il Chain of CircumstantiaI Evidence that
May Hang Lawrence Krug.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 2S.-It is now GER
tain that Lucy Heidelmyer was poisoned.
Prof. Haines of Russ Medical C llege has
completed chemical analysis of her
stomach. He found traces of arsenic in
every vital part. 1t was administered in
such liberal quantities that the only wen
der is that the girl lived as long as she
did. Capt. SChasck has also ascertained
that lawrence Krug, the girls step
father, who is being held to await the re-
suit Of the investigation, lived for long
while with celebrated chemist
in Germany and there gained
an extensive knowledge Of the
deadly qualities of various
poisUns. Yesterday Prof. Hsines began
an analysis of the remains of Krug's
third wife, which were exhumed for that
purpose last Thursday. The officers
think they have very strong case of cir
cumstautial evidence against Krug. The
inquest on the step-daughter will be re-
sumed this week, and inquiry redoubled
as to the four other deaths charged
against Krug. He has authorized the sale
of two houses belonging 70 him in order
to raise money TO defend himself in the
Criminal COu-t.

THE GAZETTE has the best authority
for the statement that the recent session
Of the Farmers Al lance Of Texas &C
complished all and even more, in the
way of adjusting differences and elimin-
ating dangerous elements, than even the
most conservative members hoped for.
When the session opened there were two
distinct and antagonistic factions, each
led by determined men, and it was feared
that a struggle for supremacy would
ensue, so bitter as to disintegrate the
Alliance and leave it powerless for further
useful work. Precedents for such a re-
suit were not lacking and they were
freely recalled. But to the astonish-
ment and gratification of the cOnserva-
tive men they found that on each side
there was strong element of abnega-
ton and compromise; that the common
sense of the order had asserted itself and
was in the ascendancy; that the desire to
preserve the Alliance intact and strong
was greater than the''rule or ruin spirit"
and so it was not difficult to reach sat
isfactory understanding. And thus it
happens that for the time being, at least,
the Alliance has plucked the flower,
safety, out of the nettle, danger, and is
unified and stronger than at any pre-
yious time in its history. 1t is possible
that IN achieving this result there may be
some discomfort left ranking in certain
quarters, but the exceptions are few and
isolated. There is no denying the fact,
either, that the wing which favored thu
Cleburne demands" of last year proved
somewhat the strongest in the recent
trial of strength st Waco, but the victors
were so m derate in their demands and
so willing to extract the sting of defeat
that it might not leave any wound, that
the weaker wing accepted results very
cheerfuly. And thus 1t is that the
Alliance has shown a degree of Wis
dom that gives much promise of fu-
ture unity and usefulness. Everybody
will be grstitled at such result. There
is no hostility on the part of the people
in general to the alliance, and it is only
demagogues and marplots who have
sought to stir up strife and bring about
class antagonism

CHARGED WITH TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Arrest Made at Cisco-Supposed to be
One of the Gordon Gang.

One of the Gordon Gang.
Special to the Gazette.
Cisco, Ten, Jan. 2G.-This evening as
the north bound train on the Texas Cen
tral Road pulled in s. P. Maddox, United
States Deputy narshal, arres ed j. B.
Suttle on suspicion of being one of the
train robbers who robbed the train near
Gordon. From some cause or other the
Sheriff of Stephens county has had his
eye on Suttle for some time. BE left
home day or so ago and this evening
got on the train at Alexander and
Mr.. Maddox got on at Dublin,
and they both came on the same
train to Cisco, where Mr.. Maddox re-
ceived a telegram from Deputy Sheriff
Ray of Palo Pinto county to arrest Suttle,
which Mr.. Maddox did without any
trouble. Mr.. Suttle lives about eight
miles from Gordon, the place where the
robbery was committed. He had pair of
saddlebags which contained few clothes,
some victuals and a bottle of whisky,
also S2l0 in money. Mr. Suttle claims
to have been on his way to Ell Paso coun-
ty to see after his stock. He is known
by several people here, who seem to
think he cannot be guilty of the crime.
Mr.. Maddox says he is not certain wheth-
er he has the tight man or not, but he has
every reason to believe he has. Mr. SUIT
tie is not very laxative, and does not like
the idea much of going to Gordon, where
Mr. Maddox will take him tonight on the
IL 40 train. S. H Royal, postal clerk,
is with Mr.. Maddox aud will go with him
to Gordon to night

NEW YO,K, Jan. 26.-The following
was published here this morning: Lon
dom don't believe in war. When peo-
pie say war is inevitable it is precisely
the moment when there is little fear OF
Its bresking out. Even supposing Ger
many were to call upon France to disarm,
she would reply that she asked nothens'
better were Germspy to do the. ;safffe7
The result, therefore, of the de
msnd would be that some sort
Of moduS vivendi would
ne established. The difficulty of disarm-
sment, however, i that Germany has to
be in position to hold her own against
Franc and Russia combined. TheresHit

great efforts to settle the eastern qqns-

NEW JERSEY justice has decided that
those persons who place barriers around
their land of such nature as to be liable
to iniure the animals of their neighbors,
shall be held responsible for any damage
thus accrmng, and the plaintiff is entitled
to recover. 1t is not ct all probable that
such case will go unappealeG, as bsrbed-
wire manufacturers have too much at
stake to let such decision pass uncon-
tested. This final decision will be
watched for with interest, as in the prsi-
ries of the west the use Of this kind Of
fence has become almost universal.

that it had never doubted the destitute
condition Of this country, but owing to
conflicting reports that had gone abroad,
nothing scarcely could be done until they
sent representative here to see and re-
port the matter Just as it is. This dis
trust has grown out Of the statements
made by Rev. John Brown while ne was
in the north soliciting aid,
and their being contradicted by the
papers and the Governor of Texas.
Now, that the papers and Governor are
indorsing those same statements, she says
the people of the north and east are ready
and want to assist the sufferers of this
country, il they are in actual need, and
that as soon as the Red Cross speaks, aid
will be forthcoming. They propose to
travel out through the country and find

WHEN the high license law went into
effect in Missouri, four years ago, there
were 1901 liquor saloons in the state.
They yielded an annual income of S547,
500. Now there are only $3.50 grog shops
or saloons in the state, and they yield an
annual revenue of 81 ,84S, POS. The lowest
license is $3.50, and the highest is Sl5OO,
and the business is in more responsible
hands than ever before, while low grog
shops are fast disappearing.

in the Official notification by the British

Columbia, that the Chinese immigrants

the liberties of the British ColumbiarS
were unrestricted they would not be
overruled by an imperial mandate like
this Il is one of highlands hypocritical
characteristics to sympsthlze with people
abroad who do not suffer nearly so much
oppression as she irflictS on her subjects in

doubt, as snub to the United States
government which has passed law pro-
hiblting Chinese immigration; and also
as means of securing the good will of
China, which would be worth something
to England in case she were engaged in
war with Russia.

THE Knights of Labor have begun q
movement that, persisted in, will grest-
" strengthen sheir order. The radical
ism and intemperance of management
which arrayed against the order even
those who sympatbized with 1t, has given
place to conservatism that will lead the
order to new triumphs. The boycott and
the strike, as conducted in the past, were
dangerous to the public peace; but let
conservatism rule and the Knights will
wonder at the number of friends they
have. No patriotic man can OPP ose legit-
innate demands of labor, but all men OPP
pose violence and tyranny, and threat to
social order. The action of the Knights,
